Vitalite Health Network is amending its visitor policies across the province.

A complete ban on patient visits at all facilities, with the exception of the Palliative Care, Obstetric and Pediatric units.

For those units only one family member or care partner will be permitted to visit.

These new measures were put into place to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

The Network is also reminding the public to avoid going to the emergency room if you have COVID-19 like symptoms.

One designated person is permitted to visit in those units.
